WAGNER

DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN

(19 LP BOX SET WITH BOOKLETS – DECCA EX++)

WAGNER: DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN

THIS GROUND-BREAKING PROJECT REMAINS EPIC IN SCOPE, EXECUTION, AND QUALITY. IT IS, BY THE WAY, THE LOUDEST RING ON DISCS, WHICH ALONE WILL PLEASE MANY, BUT THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT IT'S LONGER ON BOMBAST THAN ON UNDERSTANDING, NUANCE, OR INTEGRAL COMPLEXITY. WAVES OF ORCHESTRAL SOUND OCCASIONALLY THREATEN TO (AND EVEN MORE OCCASIONALLY, DO) OVERWHELM THE SINGERS, BUT IT'S A PERFECT OPERA-HOUSE BALANCE OF A REALLY BIG PERFORMANCE AND I CAN NOT ARGUE WITH IT.

THE CASTING IS THE STRONGEST ON DISCS, WITH NILSSON AND WINDGASSEN THE BEST IN THEIR ROLES; DITTO NEIDLINGER AS ALBERICH AND HOTTER AND LONDON AS WOTAN. THE RHEINGOLD HAS NEVER BEEN BETTERED, EITHER SONICALLY OR DRAMATICALLY SIEGFRIED COMES ACROSS AS A GREAT YARN FILLED WITH MANY MULTIFACETED FOLK, AND SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL, TOO. AND THE GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG REMAINS ONE OF THE GREAT OPERA-ON-DISC EXPERIENCES, WITH NILSSON AND WINDGASSEN ON FIRE (LITERALLY) AND GOTTLOB FRICK'S HAGEN SO EVIL HE MAKES YOU WANT TO RUN AND HIDE. IN GENERAL, THIS RING IS SO RICH, AND THE RECORDING IS SO BRILLIANT, THAT I SOMETIMES FORGET THAT I'VE ONLY HEARD IT, NEVER SEEN IT.

THIS, THE SOLTI / CULSHAW RING, IS THE RING FOR LIFE.
